7 Popular Beauty Brands From Korea, Japan, China & Europe That Are Now Available In Singapore
As major beauty junkies, one of the most annoying things about our interest is that sometimes we’d come across a beauty brand or product that we really want to try…only to find out that it doesn’t retail in Singapore or comes with high shipping costs.
And this is why we’re always keeping an eye out for retailers who are bringing in popular or cult favourite beauty brands from around the world! Speaking of, Guardian Health & Beauty, Singapore’s Number 1 Health & Beauty retailer is holding its Guardian Beauty Around The World Extravaganza from now till 17 Aug at ION Orchard (B4 Atrium). The pop-up will feature the latest beauty, hair and skincare trends and products from some of the most popular brands from around the world, including Japan, Korea, USA, China, France and many more.
Besides that, there are also insta-worthy thematic spaces inspired by each of the beauty capitals, so don’t forget to dress up for your photo op!
